Battlefield: Bad Company!

Been playing on the PS3 - i love it! Minor criticism is that the "destructable" environments arent as destructable as I'd like, but other than that its great. The sound effects are superb, its lag free and smooth as silk

Definate purchase for me I think

Xbox version is better for me.

Framerate sucks on the PS3 one.

Eh? Your PS3 must be broken, runs smooth as anything online and offline for me!

I haven't been getting any lag - I fixed my crazy zooming in and out problems though, it was the controller I was using

Switched to another controller and its fine - loving the demo

Yea i was thinking the same thing it almost cosmetic in the way it happens because it does change how you play the game.

Graphics are hideous - the jaggies, pop-in accompanied by what has to be the most over the top and cack-handed film grain effect I've ever seen (I thought something was wrong with my tv) really spoil it. For a PS3 game it's not running bad at all, very few framerate dips. When I first head it was for both 360 and PS3 I was expecting a horror story.

O ffs, the lag in this game is shocking and it's really p'ing me off!!!!

i mean the high rate of users wanting to play MP,

single player is awesome on the other hand.

But Halo managed over a million players just as well as it handles 150,000.

Couldnt agree with you more the grain effect is awful :mad:

Game is absolutely awesome cannot get enough, brilliant fun, and easy to pick up, no lag now at all!

Kreeeee · 5 Jun 2008 at 19:16

Just had a go and it's just as bad as the beta. Shame.

Proc · 5 Jun 2008 at 19:17

Either my net connection is shafted or loads of people are downloading it. Its taking ages to come down, not moved off 0% yet.

I cant see the problem, get on a decent non laggy server, and have a decent game, its BF in all its glory.

Because it's identical to the beta. It's very uninspiring and uninvolving. Just a by the numbers generic and dull fps on a console with so much more to offer.

Needles · 5 Jun 2008 at 19:29

Game is excellent from what I can tell from the demo ..... have tried the 360 version, just waiting on the ps3 version to finish downloading to compare the two.

I agree. Really had potential, just sucks.

But that's the problem you get on live, P2P MP is not good. As for crashing, not one crash here yet, only tried SP though.

But isn't Bad Company different to the usual Xbox Live games in that EA is providing all the servers and it isn't P2P?

isn't nothing going to beat COD4, Halo3, R6V2, or is that it in current 360 fps land, except maybe for GOW2

Same here!

I resorted to the PS3 version as there isnt any lag on that one.

Doesnt seem at all finished though, seems like a beta to me. Glitchy...glitchy...
